Little Ways

Little sacrifices cost more than bigger ones

because they go unrecognized by others.

No one tells you how wonderful you are for the little secret humiliations and good deeds.

“I should be distressed that I drop off to sleep during my prayers and during my thanksgiving after Holy Communion. But I don’t feel at all distressed. I know that children are just as dear to their parents whether they are asleep or awake…"
